Zambia had enjoyed a frosty relationship with the US after the former government expelled its pro-gay rights ambassador Daniel Foote in 2019 but relations had improved since Hichilema was elected in 2021.

Last month the SNP's chief executive Murray Foote quit the post after 14 months.

One of the Chalamets, the Australian-born Callum Foote, a Columbia graduate student, lives for female attention.

Mr Foote's time in charge also saw the collapse of the SNP's power sharing agreement with the Scottish Greens at Holyrood, which led to the resignation of Humza Yousaf as first minister.

Paying tribute, Swinney said Mr Foote had made a "significant contribution" to the party.
